deepee Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hi All I'm trying to prepare my Version 1.2.4.0 installation for upgrade and am trying to test on a local system. I have replicated my site and database but am having issues. The home page loads at localhost in Firefox with no images. Clicking on a link returns: "The requested URL /~mysite/category.php was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." If I use Chrome, the homepage loads along with some images such as the Homepage Header, Block Advertising and Guestbook, but no product images. I checked file permissions for all folders and they were o.k. I took it one step further and reset all permissions to 777 recursively for testing. Still no good. Can anyone give me some pointers as to what may be causing this issue? Thanks deepee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Are you using friendly URLs? Did you update /config/settings.inc.php? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepee Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 I checked the settings.inc.php and it seems o.k. I'm using friendly URL's. Maybe I have to regenrate .htaccess and merge with the old one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 yup, recreate .htaccess, or turn it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepee Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Had to pause there and take myself out for a run on this beautiful Queensland morning. Just got back, switched off Friendly URL's, shut down and restarted the server and all is good. Thanks for your help, tomerg3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
